Noah Gragson is set to return to NASCAR Cup Series racing on Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway (7 p.m. ET, NBC, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App) after missing Sonoma Raceway earlier this month, the team announced Wednesday.
Following a crash at World Wide Technology Raceway, the 24-year-old rookie experienced concussion-like symptoms, according to the team, and did not make the trip to the northern California road course. NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series veteran Grant Enfinger filled in for Gragson, piloting the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club to a 26th-place finish.
